What is this larvae?, plus grasshoppers

My citrus has been attacked by...something. The big leaf chomping I figure is grasshoppers, since I've seen them on the leaves.

Question #1: Will Spinosad rid me of grasshoppers?

My citrus has also been attacked by something that spins little cocoon lean-tos inside of smaller leaves. These buggers mess up flowers and new fruit. I have never caught one until today. Sorry for the bad picture.

Question #2: What is this and is my neem oil / dr. bronners peppermint oil soap mix *not* effective? If not, what would be?

The trees are working hard to make leaves/fruit, and it's disheartening to see the critters gnawing it away.

Thanks!
